Recommended Doctoral Music Candidacy Reading List

Doctoral students are expected to develop a bibliography representing the knowledge in their field from standard references to the most current important publications. This bibliography is to be submitted at the beginning of the semester that the student intends to take the candidacy examination. This bibliography consists of major books and articles as identified by program directors. In some cases, books will appear on the lists of several specialized fields because they were identified as important to that field by the Program Director. Students may use these references as a starting point to add books, articles, and dissertations that are important sources for their field.
